I had a similar situation although I got it under control quicker than you did...I had to spend 300 on a HEPA vacume cleaner, get a HEPA air filter for my house, buy an asthma friendly complete bed cover, get pillow covers for ALL pillow's on my bed, shower (or at least rinse off) at night, drink caffeine in the morning (proven to help short term with asthma symptoms), put cheese cloth on all of my vents in my house, get rid of some of my pets that are not asthmatic friendly, etc.
